Another 'lifer'

Raining today, so not a lot around to blip...so I am afraid it's another moth offering.
This beauty is the Small Ranunculus Hecatera dysodea .
Extinct in Britain in the early C20 this species re-appeared in Kent in 2002, and has since re-colonized, becoming more common at least as far north as the midlands. It was recently categorized as RDBK - suspected but not definitely known to be in one of the Red data book categories, as there is not as yet enough data.
It flies in June and July, and is occasionally attracted to light.
